GP2 Series - Race 1 Monaco: Richelmi Comes 8th After A Troubled Race And He Wins The Pole For Race 2

An endless race for the GP2 Series this morning at the Circuit of Monaco, full of yellow and red flags , crashes, pit stops and safety car. Stephane Richelmi starts 3rd after an excellent qualifying yesterday and he maintains his position, trying to overtake Evans before him.

In the lap 12 a crash between Binder and Negrao to the Loews hairpin blocks the track and forcing all cars to stop, with the exposure of the red flag . The race was temporarily interrupted and commissioners seek with effort to bring the cars to the starting line . After more than half an hour the show can begin again and Richelmi starts from the 3rd position , which keeps firmly to most of the remaining laps.

It's the time for the mandatory pit stop and the two DAMS drivers go to the pit within a short distance . Palmer , restarting to the pit, tap the tire placed by mechanics for Richelmi and it rolls into the pit lane , so when a moment later the Monegasque driver comes he must wait for the recovery of his tire , losing valuable time and he returns on track in 11th place.

Fortunately, Richelmi is able to recover positions up to 8th place and he cross the finish line , winning the pole position for Race 2 for the reverse grid. At 4.10 pm the second race of the weekend will start tomorrow, always live on Sky Sports F1 HD .
